THE LOCAL LABOR TROUBLES
The Carpenters Strike Proves Failure
and the Men All Return to Work.
The Places of the Striking Stone-Cutters
Filled by Non-Union Men-Trouble
Among Knights of Labor.

The carpenters strike came TO an end yester-
day. nearly all the strikers returning to their
work at the old scale of prices. From the first
there seemed to be lack of unity in tie move
ment. Probably not more than one-third of the
carpenters in the city were in sympathy with
the strikers. who decided that it would be ridcu-
lous for them to attempt to hold out against the
contractors, and the majority OF their fellow
workmen. A good many of the best mechanics
who joined the movement have returned to work
at advanced wages but over threefourths were
willing to return at any price There will be no
uniformity as to the number of hours worked.
The contractors as rule. will allow their men
to have their own way about the matter. and the
majority of them will probably work ten hours,
as they did before the strike began. Jungclans
& Schunachers employees were the only strikers
who did not go to work yesterday morning. and
they wilt return this morning.
The executive committee appointed at Tuesday
nights meeting did not show upyesterday morn
ing, for the reason that every man on it went to
work. A few carpenters were out from several
firms. but when they discovered that the COM
mi.tee had deserted the cause they, too, went
to work.
Only seven men were present at thu court
house meeting last night They were all from
the Capital City planning mill, and had no griev-
ance, but had simply come out to encourage
those who were more unfortunate. At
o'clock the seven men declared the
strike over and adjourned the meeting. Among
the was the treasurer of the meeting that
had ordered the strike, and as he had several
dollars that had been collected from the strikers,
he seemed to be the most fortunate one of the
entire lot. I've been on my last strike" said
one of the number as they left the courthouse.
'They always end Just this way with the
penters. and we come out in a worse conditi IN
than when we went in. There is no use in the
carpenters striking until we get organized. Since
this strike began, men who pretended to be in
sympathy with the movement have gone and
hired in the place of good men VINO were out thus
deprivng them of job"

Special TO the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
WASHINGTON, April 13-There is evidently a
determination on the part Of the railroad cor
porations of the country to make the interstate
commerce law as odious to the people generally
as they possibly can. While the commissioners
are doing everything in their power to carry out
the provisions of the act in good faith they
find their efforts hampered by the organs of the
railroads, which leave no opportunity uptried to
bring the commission and the law into ridicule
with the people. A report has been printed and
reprinted throughout the country designed to
make it appear that the board has already be-
gun to try to dead head itself from point point
The fact is that the commission has made no
effort whatever to obtain free transportation on
any road. Nor is it true that the members
came to Washington on passes issued by the
railroads. Each member paid his fare, just as
an ordinary mortal is obliged to do. In fact,
the board has thus far done everything in its
power to bring the law into general favor and
respect On the other hand. the railroads are
persistently trying to make the act as unpopular
as possible. One of the great corporations has
notified the government that it will not carry
any employe of the postal service not directly
engaged in the carriage of the mails except for
full fare. This same company has notified its
patrons that will at once increase the price of
Communication" tickets. and that all privileges in
the way Of reduced fares will hereafter be an
nulled. About the smallest piece of business
thus far reported is the action of railroad in
western New York. This road runs out from
Buffalo to small town in Pennsylvania. Out
on its line, not quite seventeen miles from Buff
falo. is small station at which great many
Buffalo people make their homes. 1t has been
the custom OF the road to charge fifty cents as
the rate of fare to this point. eghtyfive cents
for the round trip. Now the company notifies
its patrons that the interstate-commercel law will
oblige it to increase this rate to ffty-one cents
each way, or ninety -seven cents for the round
trip.
